  1. Right click My Computer, click properties, click Advanced tab, under performance click settings. Click Advanced tab, click change, make sure "System managed size" is chosen, click ok and reboot. While there are other ways to work it, for the average user, letting Windows determine your page file size is probably best. This also requires you to have a decent amount of drive space available (can be up to 2.5GB depending on situation)

    Right click on your task bar, click Task Manager. Click the performance tab and leave it open while you do things. watch the graphs to see if anything maxes out while working.

    Check the Event Viewer System log (Control Panel > Admin tools > Event Viewer > System) for any significant errors, though there may be none.

    KISS and start with simple things first.

    Have you looked at your processes? CTRL-ALT-DEL, then Task manager. Sort on the CPU column. Is one process hogging up all the cycles?

    You could have some hardware going bad. Have you checked your event log?

    A hardware shot in the dark.....

    Event Viewer: Right click on "My Computer" choose "Manage" and its under "System Tools"

    good point, when mine went bonkers, I found the temps were way too high.

    Oddly, when re-imaged, the temps came down and ran correctly...

    have you tried what i suggested and other ppl repeated?

  2. Norton sucks Fonzie's balls. IMO....Avast is an excellent FREE AV tool. Hook that up with Malware Bytes and Spybot and you'll have all you need to keep your shit disease free.

    +1 on AVAST and spybot. add crap cleaner (CCleaner) too

    I know we have a bunch of word games going, so why not one more

    Gameplay

    • One person begins with a sentence (e.g., One day Little Johnny walked to the local shoe shop).
    • The next person tells of something unfortunate that happens (e.g., Unfortunately, Little Johnny was hit by a refrigerator.).
    • The following person contributes a fortunate event (e.g., Fortunately, the refrigerator was made entirely of marshmallows), and the process is repeated.
